As we seek, so shall we find.
I was looking for something to do last night - it was a pretty boring Friday here. (For those of you who don't know, Friday is a day off - it's like Saturday in the US). I hung out by the pool, did some running, and just chilled out. After a while I started to go a little stir-crazy.
Luckily for me, John gave me a call a little after 10pm to let me know that something was taking shape. The plans required a dress code... this time I was warned in advance, so as not to wear sandals again. Anyway, we ended up at Palomas - a tex-mex style restaurant/bar in the InterCon hotel. We had some food, mine was interesting - a vegetable enchilada. I was thinking that it would be really small pieces of vegetables, but there were actually huge chunks of broccoli, carrots, etc. Not the best thing I've had since I've been here, but it sufficed. While there we got to listen to a live band - John tells me they are from South Africa. They were actually pretty good, and I think if Martha was here with me, we'd visit that place quite a bit.
After that we got word that there was a "Canadian Hockey Party," so we headed over there. Sure enough, there were a bunch of Canadians there. It was a very good time - Jeff, the guy who owned the house where the party was was a nice guy. We had a bunch of beer, and smoked some shisha (once again - this is flavored tobacco). They had a pretty nice pool table, so John and I played a game and got our butts handed to us. They also had paid a DJ to be there, which was cool. Unfortunately for the two single guys I was with, there was a lack of available females. It didn't matter though, everyone seemed to have a pretty good time.
And I can still say I haven't met a Canadian that I didn't like.
